Iranian Prez To Bush: Let's Have A Debate...

People in the West may call him crazy, but they cannot fault Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for being unintelligent and ignorant of world issues:

"TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has called on U.S. President George W. Bush to participate in a "direct television debate with us," so Iran can voice its point of view on how to end problems in the world.

"But the condition is that there can be no censorship, especially for the American nation," he said Tuesday.

The White House called the offer to debate Bush a "diversion" from international concerns over Iran's nuclear program, Reuters reported."

ON the contrary, I believe Ahmadinejad wanted the debate to actually bring more focus to his "peaceful nuclear program." But of course Bush's associates wouldn't allow him to be caught dead looking like a stupid duck on international TV. The way he does in the US everyday.

The CNN poll result above says it all...

On another Bush note this Canadian University ad campaign is being lauded and cirticized at the same time:

"It shows a picture of Yale graduate Mr Bush with the caption: "Graduating from an Ivy League university doesn't necessarily mean you're smart.""

Hell yeah!

Pluto Booted Out Of The Planet Club

Ok, another proof that everything we're taught is wrong.

Since grade school we were told there are nine planets in the solar system. But now it has been reduced to eight. Science books will have to be rewritten. Posters will have to be recalled.

Maybe 20 years from now a poster depicting the sun surrounded by nine planets will be a collector's item. For the uber geek, that is.

What am I blabbing about? If you never take breaks from watching your soaps, you should know that Pluto has been booted out of the planet class. Scientists today made a conclusion that Mickey Mouse's dog's namesake just didn't have the right stuff to belong in that exclusive elite planets' club...

Heath Ledger Is The New Joker

Heath Ledger will finally do what was missing in Brokeback Mountain, wear lipstick.

According to news reports, the Oscar-nominated actor's next big project is taking on the role of the Joker in the next installment of Batman titled, The Dark Knight.

Christian Bale will reprise his caped crusader role and Chris Nolan will be back at the helm.

As a Batman fan, I think Heath can pull it off. He has the smile. And he has proven himself as a flexible enough actor. My friend, Gilu, only hopes Nolan has learned his lesson from the Tim Burton-directed version of the franchise and not kill Joker off at the end of the movie.

Because that's how we ended up writhing in pain from Schwarzenegger's acting in that very tragic production of Batman & Robin.

We also heard Paul Bettany was in the running to play the Bat's nemesis. Would've been nice, too. And a possible good news (cross your fingers!) Katie's not coming back as she's busy playing fake mom and girlfriend to a real-life joker.

The Dark Knight is set for 2007 release. I can barely wait...
